In 1972, during his fourth tour in Vietnam, Jack Ensch flew an F-4 off the deck of the USS Midway for a routine mission stopping enemy forces. Ensch and his co-pilot were hit and Ensch ejected himself, ripping off his thumb and dislocating both his elbows halfway up his upper arms. Enemy forces waiting on the ground fired at Ensch, captured him when he landed in a rice paddy, and took him to Hoa Lo Prison, also known as the infamous Hanoi Hilton. Ensch was a POW for seven months, three of which he was labled Missing in Action (MIA) by the U.S. Government. On Christmas Day, his wife, Cathy, found out that her husband was still alive. In his conversation, Ensch recounts his distinguished Naval flying career, his multiple tours in Vietnam, the experience of being a POW, and his current reflections on the war in light of the US leaving Afghanistan.
